Vormgeving

In an effort to escape the meaningless blah blah blah culture embedded in global political, social, economic and environmental realities, Studio Turn Around aims to be a beacon of optimism and a driver for sustainable, people-centred experiences.

TURN AROUND and LOOK AHEAD.

We envision designers to have a natural urge to innovate and have a strong curiosity to learn how things work, how things come apart and how parts can be reused as a material source for future products. We want to challenge ourselves and our students to create concepts that are unique and innovative while being proof that both functions and esthetics are visible and meaningful.

We encourage students with a forward-looking mindset and an interest in life-enhancing technologies to participate in the programme of Studio Turn Around, to design radical concepts with great empathy for people and with an undeniable impact on the world. Design for a society where technology enables the well-being of individuals and communities.

Students will learn how to create product experiences that are essential, pure and sometimes frugal, but also daring, sometimes loud, sometimes silent, but always surprising, original and unexpected. We create a learning environment where a straightforward, no-nonsense approach goes hand in hand with a humoristic or poetic approach.

Reminder

The Morning Studio explores design as a tool for constructive protest and collective action.

Opposing by proposing, patient but stubborn, as a group if we can, fully autonomous if we must. At times with humour and irony, always with great attention and care.

Society and our direct surrounding serve as our exploration field. Whilst analysing the structures and systems we are all part of, we rely on our intrinsic motivation to identify opportunities for change.

We design for concrete situations and want to address a real audience. Rather than ‘design thinking’ we prefer ‘design doing’. Fieldwork and hands-on experiments are taken as a welcome opportunity for deepening insights and sharpening skills.

By looking for the common ground in between we’re building a narrative of interdependance over time. In doing so every design becomes a node within a larger web of transformative action(s) in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. At the end of each semester we carefully archive our work so that all embedded experience and knowledge can be passed on and serve as a breeding ground for the next group(s).

Students taking part in The Morning Studio should be driven by a desire for change, a strong interest in collectivity and collaboration, and a special attention for the mundanities and extraordinary occurrences in everyday life.
